The West Mendip Way long distance trail climbs Loxton Hill towards Bleadon Hill. The views across the Somerset Levels and over the M5 are huge.

Bleadon Hill at 143 m is a high point towards the western edge of the Mendip Hills. The road crosses the summit, but there is a nice viewpoint and parking area.

An absolutely beautiful double track turning into singletrack that runs downhill towards Loxton. Fast, rocky, rough and with some beautiful views. Four stars, would recommend to a friend, chef's kiss.

Cloudy morning in the photos but in the sunshine this is a beautiful spot to stop for a bit. Few gates to avoid tho, might mess up the flow of a fast paced ride.

Dating back to 1080, this partially ruined Grade-II listed church occupies a spectacular clifftop position. Lying above Uphill, views from here span Bristol Channel, Brean Down and the mouth of the River Axe. While the nave no longer has a roof, the 19th century saw some renovation and part of the church is sometimes used for services.
